LYRICS:
Don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you

Live your life
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool

Do you wanna dance
Do you wanna sing
Do you still believe
That Jerry Lee was king?

Is it your opinion
That Charlie Wilson’s cool
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool

In life you know
May I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There may be no more tomorrow
If you follow the pompous fool

So don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you

Do your thing
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool

In life you know
May I say to you
Be careful who you follow
There ain't nobody home
Fear knocking on the door
In the mind of the pompous fool

Do you wanna laugh
Do you wanna cry
Do you still believe
In you and I

Is it your opinion
That we should start again
And turn the volume
Down from number 10

Don’t you worry
Don’t be blue
Let your woman
Take care of you

Live your life
By the golden rule
Pay no mind
To the pompous fool

I'm almost 58 now. Eric "Slowhand" Clapton guided me since I was 16, through an incredible journey of rock, blues and ballads. That made me take drums lessons at 50, as I knew I don't have such a talent for a guitar. Now I'm part of a band of youngsters and always amazed to see how they meticulously play. Thank you, Eric, for all those years of music - you enlighted my life.

[Ednaldo]

I'll leave an obvious comment on the record: Eric is
A monumental work, complete musician, exceptional guitarist...

[gregholman]

You are very on-point here, Mr. Clapton; we should (almost constantly) be quite careful and quite mindful of whom leads us, and of course of whom we collectively decide (as a whole) of whom leads us. Regards.
